JFK on Universal Healthcare.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

I know this has been posted multiple times, but it's still so so important. The fact that we're still fighting for JFK's vision 50 years later and we're still behind the developed world 50 years later is sad.



This should put to an end all the "JFK was really a conservative" nonsense.

1. The man was a visionary.

2. The parallels in language are stunning.

And the way conservatives treated him by calling him a "socialist", "not a real Christian", "Communist sympathizer", etc shows they haven't moved forward even an inch.

History will shine on Obama and again the conservatives will be remembered as a bunch of racist, xenophobic neanderthals.

3. I sure hope you're right.

I do have some reservations tough given how truly evil, stunningly evil the conservatives are.

5. I believe that the doubts about the Warren Report's facile explanations of Kennedy's

assassination are motivated by questions about what happened to the progressive spirit in our country after that assassination. And that is the question we should be asking as we review the limited evidence we have been provided from the files of documents and information in the National Archives about that assassination.

What was the link between de Mohrenschildt and Oswald? Between Ruby and de Mohrenschildt? Between de Mohrenschildt and our government? Between de Mohrenschildt and the Bush family?

These are just a few of the questions I have about this aspect of the Kennedy assassination. Something just does not make sense to me: that a person like de Mohrenschildt with all his connections and expansive international business ambitions would have befriended a "loser" like Oswald? Why? What or perhaps even who was behind their friendship. De Mohrenschildt sounds like a bit of a social climber to me, so why was he associating with Oswald, a man with a lower class social background?

6. The British did it 30 years ago

And it's been 50 years since Kennedy died. We are so screwed. We should have had single payer health care long long ago.
